Negatu Melhik Zekrie serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM MICC FDO Ft Bragg, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness at one of the nation’s largest military installations.

Their work encompasses a broad range of services including lodging, food service, environmental maintenance, and equipment leasing, ensuring that Fort Bragg’s active-duty units and support personnel have reliable, mission-ready facilities. Zekrie’s contracting activities are strategically aligned with the agency’s focus on resilience, efficiency, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Zekrie maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including Silver National Corp., A to B Creations Inc., and Tactical Electronics and Military Supply L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military garrison support, facility operations, and specialized equipment logistics. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in quality and accountability. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Zekrie’s procurement strategy, with 95% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate focus on empowering small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises, aligning with Department of the Army socioeconomic goals. The minimal use of no-set-aside contracts underscores a dedicated effort to expand economic opportunity within the defense contracting ecosystem.
